Month 4 (July) : 

"Hurry Jake were gonna be late!" 

"Please we both know Embry will be the last one to get here," he replied as he parked the truck. I smiled over at him as I nodded. 

Closing the door shut I began walking down the hill, "True but hey you never know if he's turned a new leaf." He quickly ran to my side as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder. 

"Did anyone ever tell you that you walk too fast," he said walking side by side me. 

"Hmm not really I'm just excited to see everyone!" I smiled as I finally caught sight of everyone down at the beach. Landon was playing soccer with the rest of the guys and as Jacob predicted Embry and Violet still haven't arrived. 

As we arrived we greeted everyone as I sat down on the bench a bit tired. Jacob soon sat next to me realizing I was sitting alone. He laid his head on my shoulder as I turned to look at him. 

"Hey let's go in the water!" "You sure?" "OF COURSE!"

 I got up as I ran to the water, from behind I heard shouting, "STOP RUNNING VERA!"

I laughed as he followed right behind me.

Month 6 (September): 

I grabbed the flour from the cabinet and the eggs from the fridge as I quickly got started. Before I did, I managed to put my hair up in a messy bun. As I began placing the flour on the counter I jumped as I felt Cooper hit me with his tail as he passed by.

 "Jesus! God you're gonna be the death of me Cooper!"

I pressed play on the video as I watched a tutorial on how to make homemade pasta. I began cracking the eggs into the flour as I whisked them carefully. As I began to kneed the dough I urgently felt an itch on my face as I gave in. I could feel the flour on my face but I choose to ignore it as I finally put some water to a boil. 

I grabbed a napkin as I dried my hands. I realized the dough was too runny as I grabbed a bit more flour with my hand. Before I could drop it in I realized it was too quiet. Too quiet for my liking. I looked around realizing Cooper wasn't anywhere in sight. 

"Cooper!" I looked around as I the front door caught my eye. 

"COOPER! NO!"I tossed the flour down as I ran to the front door. I caught a glimpse as he was simply sitting outside. I knew as soon as I opened the door he was going to make a run for it. God why does this dog hate me!

I winced as I slowly opened the door realizing it made a squeak. He turned his head as he wagged his tail looking at me. "OH NO YOU DON'T !" He began running as I ran right behind him. As soon as I was about to catch him a hand grabbed his collar as I came to quick halt. I looked up seeing Jacob stare at me. "O-OH.... thanks! I could've handled that!" 

He leaned on one of his hip as I tried to dust off the flour that was in my hand. 

"What happened," he chuckled as he stared at me. Before I could answer he quickly rushed Cooper inside. "W-Well I was trying to do something nice like cook and then the door was open the whole time apparently....I- I swear that dog hates me!"
